In a South Coast port, a middle-aged trawlerman has one last throw of the dice. In the Thames Valley, property is booming. And the meek won't inherit the earth. In a Warwickshire vicarage, the Master of an Oxford college must try to unite past and present. Three Seasons is about the Thatcher era in Britain, but it is not about politics. These three stories of England in the 1980s are portraits of a country and its people on the verge of change.
